Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

Erm, yes?
If you are there anyway and the shop is selling them, why would that be a problem.

Because you have intentionally gone out to buy a paint brush. You haven't gone out to buy food and just happened to see a paint brush. You can only make essential journeys. That does not include pretending to go out to buy food,when it's really a paint brush you've gone out for.

That's not too bad now, they were up to an hour

I have to go out at seven o'clock sharp so have surrendered my place.

It's not clear whether my local store is offering a collect from store service.

Might have another go later.

The way to get the best fish is to order haddock. They cook it fresh to order. Also its important that your chip supper is served in a box, none of that paper bollocks that steams it to death.

The measure of a chippy is the quality of its chips.
My favourite is Papas on the quay in Sandwich. Awesome and always busy.

Crispy battery and crispy edged chips.

The main one served here and sitting on the warmer is Haddock, the reverse of down south, or so we found.

I've just clicked on the B&Q site and a message popped up to say I was in a queue and will have to wait 10 minutes to get fully on the site.

Strange times.

Two minutes per customer acceptance. Social distancing.

You can think of no situation where a person needs both food and a paintbrush?

Hubby did an order last night and the queue was 17mins, which he said was accurate.

They might need a brush,but technically they shouldn't be buying one.

If you can buy a paintbrush from a hardware store because they are ALLOWED TO OPEN, it makes NO DIFFERENCE where you actually buy it, if it's from a store ALLOWED TO OPEN!!!!

Then the rules will have to be made clearer.

You did well there, twenty minutes for me last night.

Guys, give it a flipping rest about the paint brushes! Go and put a funny film on the DVD player or something. Jeez, don't you lot do anything but find new ways to argue with one another.

In other news, someone close to me has been sent home from work (NHS) with symptoms. Test results pending, so looks like I can add something to the poll in this thread.

FYI -just ordering a take-out....

McNuggets?

I've just found out that a little old lady five doors away from me has died.

An ambulance was called for her last week but she was told it was normal flu and sent home.

Another one had to be called yesterday and she was kept in hospital but died this morning, first one so far that's been anywhere near to me.

The funeral was today, at 13:00 everyone from our end of the road came to their gate to pay their respects as the hearse left, quite nice to see in a strange kind of way.

I hope they are OK, Phil, and get better soon. I also hope you stay safe and well

Please thank them for all they are doing - our NHS staff are precious.

Chicken Jalfrezi. Uk McNuggets are too low salt for me....
